It was, therefore, clear that Mr. Johnson's ap plication must be entertained. The applicant then left the Court. The RECORDER addressed the Grand Jury at great length upon the alteration which was about to take place under the sanction of the Judges, whereby they would be furnished with a copy of the depositions taken before the Magistrates, and have the valuable assistance of Mr. Clark, the chief officer of the Court. The Grand Inquest were told that their duty was likely to prove an arduous one, there being nearly 300 prisoners for trial. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Two fashionahly-dressed young men, named William Johnstone and John Byrne, were brought before Mr. Twyford, and Mr. Thistleton, a County Magistrate, by Curd, a constable of the F division, charged with the fol lowing assault : It appeared from the statement of a young man, named Isaac Brien. that he was returning from the Adelphi Theatre, on - Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, in com pany with his sisters, when the defendants, who were drunk, in John -street, jolted them off the pavement, saying that the females were ugly brutes, and challenging the complainant to fight. Being provoked very much he took off his coat to fight, and the defendant kept fencing before him, and after receiving several blows, the other defendant came up and struck him three times in the eye with a stick. After he was knocked down, one of the defendants leaped on him, but he did not know which of them did so, as he was stunned by the blows he had received with the stick. The defen • dants then ran away, but were apprehended on attempting to get in'o a cabriolet to make their escape. The defendant Byrne said, that he and his companion were drunk, and seeing the complainant use a cane sword, they ran away to avoid his violence. The Magistrates ordered them to pay a fine of 51 each, or to be cent to hard labour for two months each. HATTON-GARDEN.--(THIS DAY.) FASHIONABLE AMUSENIENT.—Three fashionably-dressed young men were charged by a constable of the G division with creating great disturbance and annoyance in Clerken well, about two o'clock this morning, by knocking at the doors and pulling the bells of several houses there. They treated the charge with the greatest nonchalance, and even laughed at the Magistrate when reproving them. They were fined in the small sum of Is. each. A female pauper, belonging to the Clerkenwell work house, was charged by the overseer vsith having, when re turning to the house after being out seeing her friends yesterday, brought in with her half a pint of gin, which, by the 93d section of the New Poor Law, subjected her to fine or imprisonment. She was sent to the House of Cor rection for ten day. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The past week's arrivals of Barley were good, of all other Grains small, and of Flour moderate. The trade indicated higher prices for most articles during the week. This morn ing the fresh supplies of all descriptions of Corn have been short again, and the demand has been fair from millers and dealers. Wheat sold readily at full 3s. per quarter advance on last Monday's prices for all descriptions. Barley was also taken off at 2s. per quarter advance. Beans are ls. per quarter higher. Boiling and Grey Pease are each 2s. per quarter dearer. The demand for Oats rather exceeds the fresh supply, and prices are enhanced Is. to 2s. per quarter since this day Se'nnight. The top price of Flour is stated by the millers to be 68s. per sack. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) -.1. .--3. Beans, Small ,new) :38. 40, --White (old) -s.

We are sure it will afford our readers great pleasure to learn that the Commission of the General Assembly held yesterday (Thursday) was respectably attended, and that various important steps were taken. A meeting for prayer and thanksgiving, in connexion with the centenary of 1638, was held in the evening, at which the Moderator, Dr. Muir, Dr. Lee, and Dr. Dickson, presided. The devotional feel- Mg was deep and delightful. We believe it is intended, now that the commemoration has been sanctioned by the Church, to have similar meetings in other large towns. This can be appropriately done, as the Assembly of Glasgow sat for thirty days. There might be public worship in the fore noon, and public meetings, perhaps a grea t public dinner, in the evening, at which the great principles of 1638, and the obligations of the present to a former generation, might be b roug ht out , an d presse d u p o n the public attention.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 182 e. CoRN-LAW FALLACIES, WITH THE ANSWERS. goods. Why should one party have a patent for unreason. ableness? (Continued from The Sun of Wednesday.) 270.-8. That the home market is by far the most favour able for the sale of our manufactured goods, and that no in stance is on record, or can be produced, when agricultural produce was at a fair, liberal, and adequate price, that the home trade of the country did not consequently flourish.— On the Corn Laws. By the Right Hon. Sir John Sinclair, Bart. Addenda to "The Code of Agriculture," No. xv. .—[ Continued.] ANswER.--Whether the home market is most favour able or not, the manufacturers are quite as well able to tell as the agriculturists. But what the agriculturists want, is that the manufacturers shall take two bushels of corn for a yard of cloth instead of three, and belies e the two are best ; Lord Peter was nothing to them. What they mean by the home trade flourishing, is that they get as much as they like of the manufacturers' goods at two-thirds price. When Adam Smith and others dilated on the importance of the home market, they meant to state their belief, that in a state of freedom the profitable market to be found at home, was of greater extent than the profitable market to be found abroad. But they did not mean to say that a bad market at home was better than a good one abroad. They did not mean that two bushels cleared for a yard of cloth in the home market, are better than three in a:foreign ; which is the construction the agriculturists insist on putting on it. They did not mean that the man who netts three bushels abroad, should melt into tears for the chance be has lost of taking two bushels at home. They did not mean to recommend the home market though it should be the worst, or maintain that there was a pleasure in losing in it,—a sweetness in the name, which made the smallest payment the most acceptable. 280.-18. That it is a most dangerous maxim, " Import goods, and you are sure to export ;" for you must pay for the goods you import, but you may not be paid for the goods you export, or the price may be so low, that no profit will be derived from it. Besides, when we get corn from abroad, we import the labour of mon, and in return, we ex port the labour of machinery.—ld. A.—As well say it is a most dangerous maxim, that men should be allowed to trade at all ;—who knows whether they will ever get paid for their goods ? And who cares, when we import the thing we want, whether we import the labour of men or of machinery ? The very essence of slavery, is this having our affairs managed by rivals and ene mies, who are not even obliged to produce the show of reason in their management for us. 281.-19. That the idea of abolishing all restrictions on the commercial intercourse of nations, is visionaryand absurd: That notwithstanding every effort to preserve peace, national jealousies will arise, and wars are inevitable : That under the proposed liberal system, a million of manufacturers might be employed in France, to supply England with silk goods, a manufacture in which France is eminently successful ; and in England, another million of manufacturers might be employed in fabricating cotton goods for the French market. The exchange of commodities might go on advantageously to both during peace ; but a war unexpectedly takes place, and a mil lion of people. in each of these countries, are deprived of their usual means of subsistence. The consequences would be, such scenes of misery,as cannot be contemplated without horror. —ld. A.—" Do not allow foreign commerce ; it has a tendency to prevent nations from going to war with each other. It creates masses of people on both sides, bound over by their interests to keep the peace. Therefore, to avoid mischief, grin and go without. Let Frenchmen have dear and scanty cottons, and Englishman dear and scanty silks ; let the English cotton-spinners he cut off from trade on one side the water, and the French silk-manufacturers on the other ; the end, the motive, for this continence on both sides, being, that they may cut each others' throats." 271.-9. That successful agriculture is highly advantageous to commerce, because a large proportion of the goods imported is for the consumption of the agriculturists ; and that it is much more for the interest of commerce, to have rich customers at home, than persons so impoverished, that they cannot afford, either to consume great quantities of goods, or to give an adequate price for the few they can purchase.—ld. A.—By successful agriculture, is meant agriculture sup ported on the prohibition of foreign commerce. It amounts therefore to saying to commercial men, " Allow the agri culturists to live on the depression of your commerce, and you will be astonished to see what able customers that will make them." (TO BE CONTINUED.) MR. WALLACE, M.P., AND HIS CONSTITUENT. On Wednesday night, pursuant to a requisition by Mr. Wallace, a meeting of the Parliamentary electors of this town (Greenock) was held in the Sheriff Court Hall. The Provost was called to the Chair, and introduced Mr. Wal lace to the meeting. Mr. WALLACE referred to the small amount of business done during the last Session of Parliament, and reviewed in detail the several measures brought forward, with the attendant results. At the conclusion of the Hon. Gentle man's statement, he said that he now, with sincerity, re signed into their hands his office of Representative, and if they preferred another to him he would do all in his power to return that person to Parliament, provided he was a sturdy Reformer. Bailie Muir moved the thanks of the meeting to Mr. Wallace for his past services, togethe'r with a request that he should continue their Representative ; which was se conded by Mr. John Maclellan, jun., and carried amid loud cheering. Mr. WALLACE returned thanks, and said, whatever others might think of his annual resignation, for himself he looked upon it as his bounden duty, and it was in confor mity with a pledge which he had willingly given at his first election in 1833. Anonymous communications usually de sarvcd to be treated with contempt, because their authors were in general despicable creatures not worthy of notice., For once he wouid notice one which appeared in the last Greenock Advertiser. The writer of that had called the business in which they had just been engaged a farce, and wished such a resignation as would allow the bribers and 272.-10. That the importation of foreign corn, in foreign ships, must be highly unfavourable to British commerce and navigation : That corn is in general imported from poor and thinly inhabited countries, which do not require British com modities in return : That poor countries require the precious metals, either to purchase foreign commodities, (as wine from France), or to provide a capital, with which they may erect domestic manufactures for their own supply. Those British ma nufacturers therefore, who wish to promote the importation of foreign grain, lay a foundation of future rivalship against them selves.—ld. A.—We must not go on paying for the great monopoly in corn, for fear of losing the opportunity of paying for the little monopoly in shipping. We want to trade with countries which can pay, and not with countries which cannot. We have no more objection to a trade in gold, when it will pay, than in anything else ;—for it must equally he bought with our manufactures somewhere. If foreigners did set up manufactures of their own, it is only what they are forced on now. But we want the benefit of all the cases in which they will not. When will the manufacturers and commercial men be tired, of letting the agriculturists into their count ing-houses to manage their affairs? 273.-11. That successful agriculture is always favourable to the increase of the revenue, and that the revenue is never so productive, as when agriculture is in a prosperous state.—ld. A.—There is no proof that agriculture founded on the double loss of other people, is a benefit to the revenue or anything else. intimidators to be set at work. Let the electors at any time signify a wish that he should retire, and he would give his anonymous accuser the lie. Three cheers were then given for the Provost, and a similar number for Mr. Wallace, after which the meeting broke up. 274-12. That the real strength and stamina of a country are to be found in the cultivators of the soil. In the words of the celebrated Chatham, "these genuine sons of the earth are in vincible." They are the best calculated for acquiring military glory abroad, or securing the safety of the nation at home. That every wise government must be anxious to increase, and not to diminish the numbers, of so valuable a class of the community ; and with that view, not only to preserve in a pro ductive state, its lands already in cultivation, but to add to their fertility and extent. —ld. THE LORD CHANCELLOR OF IRELAND. It would appear—but we shall believe the affair when it takes place - Z.-that old Lord Plunket is about to retire from the Irish Chancery Bench. When he departs from the bustle of public life, which we think will only be when there are are no more places, lay or clerical, to be grasped, he will not leave behind him a more profligate or inconsistent politician. Starting in life a " Whig, and something more," we behold him veering round to every side of the political compass, and catching at the slightest opening to fly into the arms of the advocates of arbitrary power. In 1819, when the Six Acts were passing, the wily old Chancellor, whose mouth was watering for some of the loaves and fishes, went over with the Tory Duke of Buckingham, and spoke six hours in support of the justice of cutting down a defen ce l ess mul titude at Peterloo. In 1830, th masses, by years of exer tion, haying brought Reform into fashion, then the once democratic William Conyngham Plunket became the advo cate of democracy again, and was converted into a Reform equity lawgiver. He now pitchfoyked his sons and depen dents into places, in a style that made every Reformer blush, when your old smirking backbone Tory used to say, with a sardonic sneer, " Grey has his thousands; and Plunket his tens of thousands, but how many sinecurists has the corrupt and place-loving Sir Robert Peel among his relatives and friends ?"—Dublin Monitor. We see that in some quarters much wholesome indigna tion is employed upon a rumoured destination of the Great Seal in this country. We believe that no intimation has been made of any intention upon the part of Lord Plunket to resign it, and, therefore, all calculations respecting his successor are, to say the least of them, wholly gratuitous and premature. In any case, the adherents of the party which appointed Sir Edward Sugden, are not well entitled to take credit for any very sensitive patriotism in the mat ten—Dublin Evening Post. A.L•Ask the recruiting serjeants. Besides, the seamen, who are the offspring of foreign commerce, ought to be taken into some account. But suppose the fact was, that there was nothing for fight like a clod-hopper; that would form no reason why we should be deprived of one bushel of corn in three, and the nation made a little nation instead of a great one. 275. —l3. That the most erroneous accounts have been given, of the number of persons who, directly or indirectly, depend on agriculture for their subsistence : That if a care ful inquiry were made, it would appear, that two-thirds of the population in the united kingdom, including those manufac turers who raise goods for the home market, derive the means of their subsistence from agriculture.—ld. A.—There is no justice in claiming " the manufacturers who raise goods for the home market," as " deriving the means of their subsistence from agriculture." What they derive is, two bushels of corn where they ought to have three. The agriculturists can never get it out of their heads, that getting two bushels of corn where other people would give three, is a thing to be thankful for. And there is no justice in saying the man is naked, after he has been stripped. 'The question is, what he would have been if he had been let alone. We want to know what would have been the proportion of traders to agricul• turists if trade bad been allowed by law ; not what it is after the traders have been put down. 276.-14. That the class of persons who are principally interested in the corn trade, are commission merchants, to whom foreign corn is consigned for sale in the British mar ket ; and it is to promote their interests, that the nation has been so long kept in a perpetual state of agitation on the sub ject of the corn laws.—ld. A.—There is somebody more interested than commis sion merchants. There are the people who are to eat. It would be small interest the commission merchants had at all, if there were not the other set behind. M r . WALLACE, M.P.—We arc happy to find that the constituency of Greenock have realised the ex pectations entertained of them, in regard to their honoura ble representative, Mr. Wallace.

ERRATUM. —In the leading article on the City of London Corporation Reform Society, in Saturday's Sun, the word " deprecated" was, by a mist a k e o f t h e pr i nter, substituted for " dee p -seated." RAILWAY ACClDENT.—lmmediately after the train had left the Coventry Station on Tuesday afternoon, about half-past three o'clock, for London, one of the stokers slipped from his position, while in the act of moving some fuel, and had a most providential escape for his life. The wheels of the engine grazed his ear, and bruised him very severely about the shoulder , bu t we understand he may pos sibly recover. —Coventry Herald.

A few days ago, Mr. Thomas James, assistant to Mr. A. D. James, chemist, Wirksworth, who had just re turned from a journey, had the misfortune to lose six 5/. notes from his pocket.

Since Railway (little more than eight years) five millions of pas sengers have passed along the line. Out of this immense number only two passengers have lost their lives by accident on the r a il way, arising from the sudden collision of some of the carriages. —Liverpool Times. A boat with eight men on board and a cargo of 22 horses, whilst descending the Rhone a few days since, was driven by the current amainst an enormous rock opposite the village of Aramon and immediately went to pieces. All the men on board succeeded in gaining the shore, though with considerable difficulty, but 17 of the horses perished. Three of the animals reached a small island, and one of the two remaining horses, which was blind of an eye, swam to a meadow, where he was found quietly grazing next morning. Intelligence was received in town yesterday morn ing of an accident which had occurred on Saturday eve ning to the Globe Brighton coach, by which the coachman who is also part proprietor, as well as keeper of the Globe Inn, Brighton) lost his life. The Globe had proceeded as far as Ditchlev nine miles this side of Brighton, where it stopped, and the deceased was in the act of remounting, when the horses from some cause started off, threw him to the ground, and the coach passing completely over his body killed him instantaneously. The deceased was a widower, and had no family. The body awaits a coroner's inquest. The horses were stopped before they had pro ceeded far, so that the passengers, of whom they were seve ral, sustained no further injury than temporary fright. AGED PAUPER. An application was made to the relieving officer o f th e Truro Union, a short time since, by an aged woman, who, on being visited, was found to be of the extraordinary age of 102, and in the full possession of all her faculties. Her case was duly brought before the B (111- , r1i.1 , 15. , he w;ts suif•ibly provided for, as we believe all meritorious cases are, and especially those of age and infirmity.— West Briton. 277.-15. That if the importation of:foreign corn be en couraged, not only is the extension of agricultural improve ment checked, but a large proportion of the territory of the country will be driven out of cultivation, and perhaps a milliok of persons deprived of their usual means of subsistence. The poor rates will then absorb a still greater proportion of th e rents of the country, and the owners and occupiers of the soil in England, with such an addition to their burdens, will be reduced to beggary.—ld. A.—lt is very natural, that when a country-gentleman just misses making both ends meet,in an experiment on im proving and cropping an acre of peat-moss, he s h ou ld be think himself of the convenience of raising the price of corn by stopping foreign commerce ; and this is what th e agri culturists mean by " the extension of agricultural improve ment," and the absence of it they call " the territory of the country being driven out of cultivation." But it will be just as natural for a manufacturer in corresponding circum stances, to apply to a tax on home-grown corn. What a pleasing accessory it would be to . the success of a doubtful spinning jenny ! On the whole therefore, the agricultu re is may find themselves glad to compound for letting things take their free course. For every man put out of employment in one way, there will be ten called into employment in another. Put the converse of the case, and suppose that trade was free, and the agriculturists were coaxing the commercial interest to consent to the prohibition of commerce, by the prospect of the absorption of poor rates, which would be the conse quence of the increased demand for agricultural labourers. 278.-16. That it is in the highest degree impolitic, in regard to so essential an article as food, to prefer the interests of the consumer, to that of the grower ; for that it is not a temporary interest that ought to be kept in view, but one of a lasting and permanent nature: That if the whole globe were ransacked for cheap food, it may be obtained for a short period ; but that, in the course of years, a nation will be supplied with grain, both cheaper and better, by promo tin g domestic agriculture, than by depending on foreign importa tion.—ld. A.—Does the grower grow for growing's sake, or does he grow that somebody may consume? Which is the end and object for which growing takes place at all ? And how does it appear that consuming is more of a temporary in terest than growing? It will last as long as growing does; and it will always be a man's interest to have the three bushels in preference to two. And where do the landed soothsayers get their knowledge, that if the whole globe were ransacked for cheap food, it could only be obtained for a short period? Might not the manufacturers as well assure the agriculturists, that if the whole globe were ran sacked for cheap manufactures, they could only be obtained for a short period cheaper than the manufacturers would supply them under a tax on home-grown corn ? 279.-17. That cheap corn is not favourable to industry, it being well known, that in manufacturing towns, there is more regularity of con d uct, and more productive industry , whe n . That corn is at a m e di um pr i ce, than when it is unusually low : Th. manufacturer s i n general are more likely to be happy and in dustrious, when th e y pay a fair price for their food, than when it is too cheap. ( See Representation of the Privy Council, 10th March 1790. Annals of Agriculture, vol. iii. p. 419. ) When manufacture rs can gain their livelihood by the labour of four days in the week, they often spend the three remaining days, not only in idleness, but also in dissipation, to the injury of their health and morals. --Id. A.—Suppose the manufacturers were to tell the agricul turists, that cheap manufactures were not favourable to in dustry in agricultural districts ;—that agriculturists in gene ral were more likely to be happy and industrious, when they ply a fair (which means an unfair) price for their clothing. than When it is Lou cheap ;--and therefore pro salute ant marum, they must lay an artificial price on manufactured COURT CIRCULAR• WINDSOR, SUNDAY.—This morning the Queen, accom panied by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, at tended Divine Service at St George's Chapel.

EARL FI TZWILL IA M.-The extraordinary liberality of this eccentric Nobleman has lately excited much sur prise amongst his friends, and the following is said to be the reason :—The Earl lent large sums of money to an indivi dual lately connected with Royalty, who, since the acces sion of her Majesty to the throne, has been gradually pay ing them off. This money the Earl has devoted to Church extension and charitable purposes.—Sheifiek/ Iris. A monument to the memory of the celebrated sculp tor Nollekens, has just been erect€ 4 in Paddington Church,. in which edifice the mortal remains of the deceased have been deposited some years. It is the work of Mr. Behnes, and it is a work that will add to his reputation and show, that, however excellent he may be as a carver of busts, he can do other and more difficult things equally well. The monument is of white marble ; on it is represented a sar cophagus, on the front of which is carved, in very bold re lief, the figure of Nollekens, employed on one of his princi pal works—the monument of a lady who died in child birth. The group is very fine ; the attitudes of the figures graceful and easy, and the body of the dead child relaxed in the moment of dissolution, but stiffening into the rigidity of death. The likeness of Nollekens is a correct one ;it has the character and mannerism of the old man, and poor trays his pecular look with great fidelity of imitation. _ STOPPING THE MAILS.—The clergy's project of stopping the mails is virtually defeated.

There are two things which John Bull enjoys at the approaching festive season more than anything .91se— his Christmas plum-pudding and his Christmas pantom:tne, with both of which he is generally liberally supplied. Sir Joshua Reynolds, besides the display of other merit in his pictures, was a splendid colourist ; but this perfection in some of his pictures faded, which occasioned his cynical contemporary Barry to observe, when Sir Jo shua was complimented, " Aye, the man always comes off with: flying colours.' " Mr. Berra•, the engineer and manufacturer at Wol verton, has entered into a contract with the managers of of the London and Birmingham Railway to convey pas sengers, at one farthing a-head, and of goods, at one half penny a ton, per mile, during the whole journey. —Derby Mercury.

On Saturday evening last, between the hours of seven and eight o'clock, as a member of the University wits returning from Abingdon, he was attacked by three men, with bludgeons, one of whom attempted to seize the bridle, but, from the spirited resistance of the young gentleman, who made a well-directed blow with the butt-end of his• hunting -whip, and the high mettle of his horse, we arc happy to say he escaped before the others could succeed in stopping him. Owing to the darkness of the evening the count .nances of the villains could not be distinguished.-- Oxford Herald.

NINE LIVES LOST.—On Tuesday morning about half-past five, blowing a gale from the eastward, with a heavy surf on the coast, the brig Wonder, Moss, master, from Hamburgh to London, with a cargo of wheat and pipe staves, got on shore at Winterton, outside the outer bank. Th e c hi e f o ffi cer an d c rew of the Preventive Station immediately proceeded with the apparatus and Dennett's rockets, and succeeded in throwing four lines from the mortar and a rocket line, but the crew would no t venture to save thmselves with the lines, although several of them laid hold. The life boat was then sent for, but the distance being so far, and the difficulty of obtaining horses so great, she did not arrive until five minutes after th e l ast man had perished. Five lost their hold by the fall of the mainmast. Nine men and one female were drowned. The boy was providentially saved by being washed on shore in the long boat, which had . broken away f rom t h e vessel be fore the crew had time to Jump in. On Saturday an inquest was held at the Prince of w a l es public-house, Exeter-street, Sloane-street, on the body of Algernon Rofe, the son of Mr. Rofe, carpenter, or that place. The boy, who was eight years of age, attended a day-school in the neighbourhood, and in order to reach the school-room the children had to mount a ladder. On the sth of the present month the deceased, in attempting to run doe n before the other boys, missed his footing and fell on his bead. He continued to go to school for tea days after the accident, when he took to his bed, and died of congestion of the brain.—" Accidental Death.*
